Saturday Snapshot

This is another photo we brought home after my dad passed away. My mom said she was around 9 or 10 years old and when she came home from school, her mother told her to change into those clothes and then the two of them, along with my mother’s pet goat, walked to the photography studio to have this portrait made.

Saturday Snapshot is hosted by Alyce of At Home With Books. It’s easy to participate – just post a picture that was taken by you, a friend, or a family member and add your link on Alyce’s site.

I love this picture! Your mom looks happy and just a bit nervous having her picture taken. It’s so cute how she’s holding the goat like she’s protecting him/her and the goat looks so comfortable sitting next to her. I love your mom’s dress, it’s so pretty and her mary jane shoes.

So is there a story about your mom’s pet goat?!
Thanks for sharing this!

I hope you’re planning to tell the story of how and why your mom had a pet goat…I can completely understand…we had a squirrel for a little while 🙂 I just love old photos…especially the whole idea of looking at them from the perspective of a different generation and trying to fill in all the blanks 🙂

Aw, a pet goat, that’s great! One of my best friends has goats, and I just happened to be there the week the second generation was born, so we call them my Godkids. They remind you of funny looking puppies when they’re still young.
But, I digress. 😉 Great shot!

I die over pictures like these. Love them. Sadly I don’t have any prints of my grandparents and their families but next time I head to Utah I think I’ll work on that. Such treasures. I didn’t notice the goat either–how funny!
